That looks sweet!

I believe the front bumper is Stealth model. It definitely doesn't look like the Venom bumpers I have, but I'll be happy to trade my Venom for that bad ass front bumper.

Haha, thanks. Must have had Venom on my mind.

^^^ ditto!


Nice build. You don't see kings on here too often. When I upgrade, that's the route I'm going

You don't see them because their coilovers are somewhat narrow in tuning focus. They can be setup for offroad or for on road comfort, but not both.
Their new internal bypass coilovers are the exception, but I've not seen any in actual use yet, so that would be not fun to tune initially.
You can get away with kings (I'm running them) on a dual setup because the coilover is valved much lighter, and the secondary bypass does the majority of the damping, and being a bypass, gives you the ability to soften the ride zone nicely.

I see. Have you always ran the dual front setup? I was thinking of just going single coil over up front, and 90% of my driving is on road. So I guess the way to go is the internal bypass up front for the single shock setup?

Yes, I ran RPG tuned fox 3.0's and Icon 3.0's as well.
Fox's win hands down for widest performance envelope.
The icons are livable if you have pretty good pavement, and then are full bore when offroad. They're a bit rough at lower speeds offroad though.

Thanks, we sell a good amount of Kings. It really comes down to the customer's preference. Some like Fox, some Icon and others King. We've ran them all and they all have their strengths.
